Nor can we rule out the possibility that religious implications of the new findings on the Turin Shroud might be envisaged. Innovative concepts are likely to come up using modern research approaches to evaluate the issue of blood stains of the Turin Shroud. Indeed, consistent with DNA contamination on the Turin Shroud, sequences from multiple subjects of different ethnic origins have been recently detected on the human mitochondrial genome extracted from dust particles of the linen. These days, to establish that blood indisputably belongs to an MNS positive individual of the AB group, and to exclude DNA contamination, high-specificity techniques with monoclonal antibodies and molecular studies on nuclear and mitochondrial DNA are needed. Although the presence of male was more noticeable than female DNA, these data were considered null and void. In the late ‘90s, together with the evidence of the gene coding β-globin, contamination between male and female DNA was documented on the Turin Shroud. However, being only based on indirect and circumstantial evidence, most of these data were challenged. Such stains were shown to belong to an MNS positive individual of the AB group, and the halos surrounding the blood stains were compatible with serum containing trace amounts of bilirubin, albumin and immunoglobulins. In the early ‘80s, evidence was provided that, rather than a dye (red okra), hemoglobin was indeed responsible for the alleged blood stains of the Turin Shroud. ![]()
